Their glaze is the best and has a very long open time so it's easy to work with. I have used their decorative plasters on many projects with great results as well as the waxes, varnishes and fizzy pigments. The Mighty Boards are so flexible and lightweight, and I do all of my client samples on them. I highly recommend Faux Like a Pro and will continue to purchase their products! **★★★★★ — hennyalyda, Feb. 2015** > I have known the people at Faux Like a Pro for quite a few years. I do custom paint work myself and to hone my skills I have taken quite a few faux painting courses with them in the past. The staff was totally dedicated, knowledgable and fun. > These days, when I need supplies or advice they are always there to help me when I need some extra information. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to start a project! The products are easy to work with and are of excellent quality! **★★★★★ — Brenda Cirioni Artist, Dec. 2014** > After years of using oil based products I developed a sensitivity to them and had to switch to water based products.

A: I always use large sample boards - as flat and as white as possible. Holding one color up at a time to avoid confusion for the eye. And always hold up to a corner or molding for reference. Here's a good video in the subject of sampling paint colors https://youtu.be/IYkg-MzYhBo --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-23.*
